Re: 10 essentials luxury add on
I've got a roll-up Crazy Creek chair. Yeah, it's big and weighs over a pound but it's so nice to sit on something beside a rock or a log. It can also serve as an ultra lite sleeping pad and, as a wilderness first responder, it can be used to lay an injured person on or as a splint. Winter or summer it's on the side of my pack.

Summit celebration libation of choice is Captain Morgan Spiced Rum 
But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Re: 10 essentials luxury add on
I also carry a foam pad on every hike, one of my most used pieces of gear, and probably a luxury add on.
My new essential luxury add on, dry socks, at least one pair. I put my feet through some interesting stuff this past summer, my feet were grotesque by the second week on the CT. It rained almost everyday and a fresh pair of dry socks became a new found luxury.
The planning of when you will change socks
The anticipation of how much better your feet are going to feel
Finally, the changing of socks...my 11th essential
